Snow and more snow. It snowed almost continually yesterday; mostly clear but cold today. We have about 4” of snow on our balcony railing, 6” in some places. We picked up our skis and boots this afternoon to take to Eva’s house to load in their car for our trip tomorrow. Eva and Hunsa lent us ski pants and goggles and gloves, so we’re fairly well set. It’s been cold and windy in the mountains – one of the areas had to close their lifts yesterday because of the winds. We’re hoping for better weather tomorrow. We’ll be near several different ski areas, so we are not locked into our first choice if it’s too windy or crowded.
And, while we're skiing tomorrow, Prague will be celebrating Mozart's 249th birthday. There are many Mozart concerts scheduled in Prague for Thursday, since Mozart has a very special place in the hearts of Prague. Mozart spent some of his happiest days in Prague, and wrote and performed many of his most famous works here.
